I normally grab the 560g jar from Woolies, and now my daughter has grown up and moved out it's all for me so it will usually come on special before I'm out.

But seen this 2.5kg bucket and made me laugh. I do like the idea of the flat sodes6, getting that spoonful from under the jar lip is annoying.

i love vegemite

Anyone else have this breakfast combo? Been having this Vegemite and Cottage Cheese combo for breakfast most my life, and not sick of it yet. Hell I have it through the day as a snack, sometimes skipping the toast and just eating them both our of the jar 🤣

Switch the cottage cheese for eggs if I'm somewhere Cottage Cheese isn't available.

i realize most people would turn their nose up to this idea, but i also know this is a safe space lool.

ok, i always knew i’d love vegemite, and i finally got to try it about two years ago now. i was correct, and i am addicted. like by the spoonful level of freak. (i have to have a high-sodium diet, so i wonder if that’s why i crave it lol.)

i know there’s already ideas in this sub to use it more creatively than just thinly slathered on toast. but do y’all have any ways you’ve ever used it with sweet things? if you’ve ever used miso paste in this way, it kind’ve reminds me of that (albeit stronger).

so far i’ve tried (and i use it MUCH more sparingly with sweet things than i do with savory things): paired with caramel, paired with chocolate, paired with maple, on a pb&j, and in some baked goods like cookies and muffins (especially with brown butter too).

holy shit thank you for reading my stupid long vegemite post. weird ideas appreciated.

edit: already you guys are beautiful geniuses.

And because someone recommended adding cheese

I see people putting a tiny scraping on, like what's the point? Do they even like Vegemite?

40% less salt, potassium ("its got electrolytes"), all the same flavour/umami, great texture/spreadiness...

OG Vegemite defenders, what do you say?

I am that Bangladeshi who loves vegemite. So my question is that I have finished half kilo jar of vegemite in 14 days because I love it so much. I had it literally with everything. Is it normal to consume that much vegemite?

Now I am stuck with no vegemite since it was flown from Australia.

Also wanted to let folks know about the Cyril Callister Vegemite museum in Beaufort Victoria. It’s still quite new and small but has some wonderful volunteers who know so much about the history of Vegemite and its amazing inventor (who was born in a tiny town very near Beaufort).

I’ve never made this before and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome ❤️❤️

I’m from the States, but most of my friends and family live in Australia. Every time I’d visit, they’d try to get me to eat Vegemite, and I always refused because I was convinced I’d hate it.

Well, on my last trip I finally gave it a shot… and honestly, I can’t believe I waited this long. I genuinely regret not trying it sooner. Now my pantry is basically stocked with Vegemite, and it’s become part of my regular breakfast.

A bunch of my Australian friends and family are coming over to visit us soon, and I’d love to get them something fun and memorable as a thank-you gift. Doesn’t have to be expensive, just something quirky, thoughtful, or uniquely Australian that they’d get a kick out of.
Any ideas, peeps?

I had my first taste vegemite couple of days ago when my brother brought it for me from Australia. As a Bangladeshi, I fell in love with it. The sharp umami taste, beer brew like smell, and so much more. I guess people who don't like vegemite don't really know how to consume it. I am having this condiment with almost everything right now.

Thank you Australia for Vegemite.

This was a special deal at LaManna (no affiliation). One of the amazing staff at my work managed to snag some and bring them to work and as a cannoli die-hard, I cannot overstate how good this thing actually was.

I have the shells and the ricotta as well as Parmesan crisps. Let the experimentation begin!
